Posted By: Emily Rosario on 8/16/2015
The San Francisco Giants put on a clinic in the third inning. Kelby Tomlinson opened things up with a triple. Gio Gonzalez followed that up by walking Hector Sanchez and Jake Peavy to load the bases.
After loading the bases Washington Nationals pitching coach Steve McCarty got ejected for arguing with the umpire.
Gregor Blanco helped the Giants build off this momentum when went to bat for the second time by getting a single and the Giants finally scored a run. Matt Duffy got a double and that brought in runs by Sanchez, Peavy, and Blanco to put the Giants up 4 to 2.
After Duffy got a double, Brandon Belt would record a double. This put the Giants up 5-2 in the bottom of the third after Jake Peavy got off to a very sluggish start.
Buster Posey the biggest star on the Giants got a ground out that ended this momentum. Hunter Pence lined out by hitting the ball towards left fielder Jayson Werth. Still getting 6 batters on base and producing 5 runs as a result is a very big deal.
Brandon Crawford generated one more RBI with two outs. This put the Giants up 6-2. Kelby Tomlinson stepped up to plate once again in the bottom of the third inning after Gio Gonzalez retired the first six batters in effortless fashion.
The Giants' inflicted so much damage in the bottom of the third, that long reliever Tanner Roark came in to replace Gio Gonzalez.
Peavy had to feel very confident about that heading into the fourth inning. He pitched two more scoreless innings before the Giants scored three more runs.
San Francisco led 9 to 2 at the end of the fifth inning. The Giants won 12-6 mainly due to their six runs they posted in the bottom of the third inning.
